FEEniNG FOR PROFIT
The man who feeds best is the man who
makes the most money. Many farmers think
they make money when they allow animals to
get bone poor in winter, blu. they are greatly
mistaken. The only profit ever made in fatten.
ed animals lie what is put on daily over and above
the daily waste This daily waste Is constant
integer, an unavoidable one, and amounts to
about what the animal will consume in winter Of
fairly we'll cured hay II kept in comfortable
quarters. In severe weather when cattle are
kept out OF doors the loss, even when fed good
! hay, will often average pound day. and fol
